"A SODA.

There is soda enough lying around
loose in the section of this State lying
tributary to the Carson and Colorado
railroad, and within easy reach OF it to
supply the world. The Dayton News.
Reporter says: There are places in this
State where it may be taken out in solid
blocks, as ice is out of a pond, and some
OF it is almost as transparent as ice. The
finding of this solid soda by the immi-
grants who crossed the plains in 1856
and 1852 gave rise to the widely circu-
lated story that under the sands of some
OF our deserts we're solid masses of ice OF
unknown thickness and extent. The
pilgrims gathered the dry effiorescent
soda that was found about the shores of
ponds and used it in making bread, but
the solid article as found by them in
places under the dry sand, where they
were digging in search of water, they did
not understand. They believed it to be
frozen alkali water.

Cured at the Paris Geological Gardens to-
day, resulting in the death Of one Of the
keepers. The Hippopotamus was observed
to be acting in an unusual manner, and q
keeper entered the cage to endeavor to
discover the cause OF the brute's evident
u~neasiness. He bad been in the Q G but
q moment or two when the animal ap-
peared suddenly to 60 mad. The keeper
tried to escape, but before he could reach

He has not lived with his wife for IL
years. Shortly after they began to live

His connection with this woman Is
made the basis for a suit. Neither the

TITLES.

Regarding patented mines, the Grass
Valley Tidings says: The owners OF
mining ground of any kind should get
patents for their claims or ground. Pos
session may give a good title as long as
that possession is maintained by a strict
compliance with customs which have the
strength of law. But possession is good
only against parties other than the
United States. The policy of the United
States can change in regard to mining
grounds which are not conveyed to
miners by the United States. When the
Government, however, gives a man
patent to a piece of ground, the ground
is that mans. No change Of policy will
affect his ownership. The patent gives
the best title, and that is what every
owner of land, mining or other, ought tt
have. And then it really costs less tt
get the perfect title which a patent gives
than it costs to keep up o possessier
which may give a good title, but Ger
tainly does not give the best. Congress
may pass a law which will do away with
mere possessory titles; Congress cannot
enact a law which can do away with
patented titles.

The New York Times, one of the most
uncompromising enemies of the silver
coinage, admits that the Government
now owns more gold than it has had at
any time, with one exception, since the
resumption of specie payments, and that
the stock of silver dollars is falling of
in spite of the continuance of the coin.
age. One would think that the constant
necessity of registering the Justification
Of their own productions would teach
modesty to the gold organs, but it does
not. The man who saw two years ago
what they see now was an idiot then,
and the man who sees to-day what they
will see two years hence is an idiot now.

Chicago society is Mortified oyer a
casual remark made by Judge the other
day from the bench. He mentioned the
fact that in cases where divorces are
granted by default and notice is given
by publication, the parties are not at
liberty to marry within three years.
Chicago is said to be full of people in
good society who have married immedi-
ately after securing their DEGREES. in ig.

Some doubt was expressed in yester.
days paper as to whether tho Ohio League
was 8 sure 90. 1t has since been learned
that there il no possible question as to the
success Of the movement. Columbus has
made formal application, subscribed all
it's stock and begun eigning players. Akron
and Toledo have a!so made official appli-
cation. At this standpoint it looks as if
there would surely be ten applicants for
the eight positions. The homs team have
eight men signed now. The latest ad-
dition is George Mallory, Of Martins
Ferry, who will be found in the box. He
has no local reputation, but showed con-
siderable promise in last years Hamilton,
Can, club, with whom he played five
games. He made his debut against SYRIA
cuse, winning by 10 to 4; played next
against Rochester, who defeated his team
by q score Of 8 to 9 he slso pitched against
Utica and Oswego, losing the former and
winning the latter game. He was re-
leased by Hamilton, as they had too many
batteries, and finished the season at Port
Hope, Can.

THE LIVING ENGINE.

In the bodies Of animals, vegetables ara
burnt up just aa coal is burnt in the fur.
mace OF the engine, and thus is liberated
the torca in either case. AS surely as the
force which moves the clock is derived
from the arm that winds it, SO surely is
the force Of muscle derived from tho sun.
The essential difference between organic
and inorganic compounds lies in the fact
that the inorganic compounds are pro-
ducts OF combustion. They have already
been burnt up or oxydjzsd, these ashes Of
nature, and admit OF no further combus.
ton. Organic or animal compounds m
the other hand contain little or no oxycen
and are still highly combustible, mia il
taking place every moment in the life of
man !; the burnt or used up PRODUCTS arc
given OF in the excretious, and are 20.
placed 6y food derived from animal or
plant life, which is derived from the
earth. n0
Our bodies come, therefore, to be re-.
garded as machines for the expedition of
various forms Of force. As the steam an.
CINE llberates in other forms the forces
stored up in the fuel, the body sets free
in the phenomena OF life the forces stored
up in the food. We are, however. unahle
as yet to construct q machine that NAV
liberate force as perfectly as the human
body. The best steam engine can convert
into motion only one.tenth of the force ri
its fuel, the remaining uiue.tenths escan.
ing as heat, whereas the BODY of man
may transform into mechanical wnrk o.
much as one-dfth OF the force If hia food
the remaining four.ffths escaping as the
unburnt compounds in the various excre-
tons.
The force OF the body being thus
directly derlva from the food, and the
amount OF heat being known which the
combustion Of any article Of food outside
OF the. body will produces, 1t is easy to com.
pute the full value OF the ditferent kinds
Of food, and as might be aptjcjpated. tbe
most highly combustible articles Of food.
the fats, stand at the head Of the list in
the amount Of force that may be liberated
IN their digestion. Thus half a pound of
fat furnishes the same amount OF force ma
one and one-half pounds OF isur. one and
one-half pounds Of sugar, three and one.
half pounds OF lean beef. and Ave nonnJs
81 potatoes. The laboring man gets from
his sIice OF breakfast bacon more force for
work than the retired merchant or epicure
can obtain from a table overladen with
other things: And a wise provision it ia
that the food most needed by q poor man
compelled to toll daily Tor his s%ustenance,
can be furnished him in a liberal and
cheap form in this country. and Of a quail.
equalled.
